Oil deposits in Bashkirian strata regionally oil-saturated, within the Volga-Ural oil and gas bearing province. They contain up to 30% of hydrocarbon reserves. Bashkirian strata are represented by carbonate complexes of various lithological type. Only packstone and grainstone have properties of oil-saturated reservoirs, mudstone and wackestone are dense rocks. A characteristic feature of the Bashkirian carbonates is the wide presence of stylolites filled by greenish-gray clay minerals. It is known, that hydrocarbo...

The dolomite problem is very popular among geologists, who are especially working with oil-saturated carbonate rocks. Probably, this is the most common type of diagenetic transformation of limestone. However, the problem of secondary dolomitization is still insufficiently discussed, as a process associated with oil migration and oil-charge. The main purpose of this study is the geological reconstruction of diagenetic changes for the Tournaisian and Visean dolomites based on the application of data from cathodolumi...
